At it again, oug.

That last post of yours, stripped of the dots that join the words (ellipses have three full stops, by the way, not two. Or four) weighs in at 486 words.

Still, counting the words makes far more sense than reading them.

If one remembers the time when all of society lived under the rule of religion, witches were burnt at the stake, people were demons & goblins or what ever else they believed, besides the world being flat, were out to get any one who didn't believe in God. Then came the rule of law & societies changed for the better & morality was inserted to an extent that it addressed the major crimes. The difference between a world being of one belief under religion, is that we have to believe in make belief & under Atheism it would be under the rule of factual scientific evidence but the law's will still be the governing system to which we live our moral & ethical life's standards by.

Religion states we should go fourth & multiply & we did, so now that mother earths tit's are running out of milk, we should (a) do what the religious order once again tells us? or (b) start to initiate scientific resolutions?

Gee Suss,

You are not alone. Unless I've missed them, OUG hasn't answered my Zeus questions either, except for a reference to "davidids", being followers of David, presumably.

OUG,

My questions on God (Zeus): Will you please address them? Was god justified in punishing the Titans? We know Zeus did this, because Scripture tells us he did and, Scripture being the Word of God is infallible.

Gee Suss,

It’s easy to see how folk believe that evolution is not a valid description of how things work. We only live for 70 or so years and therefore cannot imagine the immensity of time evolution requires for change.

Take for instance the fact that the dinosaurs died out 60 or so million years ago. Sixty million years into the future will have very few traces of humanity left even with the huge changes we have made to the environment. That we find any information about dinosaurs and humans is remarkable in itself, that we can’t get full information is to be expected.

Those who play on the incomplete fossil record are trapped by being unable to overcome an intuitive understanding of nature. Examples of this are that the earth was once considered flat, the sun revolved around it and that demons caused disease.

When religion supports and promotes intuitive knowledge, some find it impossible to look further. Religion has been wrong so many times about intuition one would think it would create a suspicion in most people that religion may be wrong about creationism also.

Mistakes of this nature are not just a thing of the past, they are also happening now with the ramifications if left unchecked, quite frightening.

The Global Atheist Convention will have speakers who have overcome intuitive thought process with the help of science. Those rubbishing the greatest discovery of all, scientific method, are committing that which is tantamount to planetary treachery whether this is recognised or not.

David
